No, I think Cruz should fight Fierro
Oh, you lol'd so I thought you meant Fierro was a joke. I neglected to read the other posts for context. A victory over Fierro could probably get him in the WBO top 5.
I think MR is gonna try and use Cruz as a proof of concept for what they could do for Morrell.
Andy’s one of the real bright lights among new entries. His career must be handled well in order for us to truly appreciate him. So many of these Cubans start their pro careers late. It’s a shame. Anyway…Cruz looks great so far. Power might be in question.
Exactly, TR probably do an in-house tournament between the 3, Tank will only want money fights.
Fierro is in at #2 with the WBO, he has links to MR I think. That could be an option to get him up the rankings fast.
Hopefully Hearn is willing to pay for Cruz-Fierro. Best inhouse option for Cruz.
I believe Andy Cruz will have 3 more fights before fighting a ranked opponent, and compete in two divisions (135-140).
On who he can fight, well I think he can fight the likes of Angel Fierro, Devin Haney, Liam Paro, Subriel Matias, Dalton Smith, Regis Prograis and Richardson Hitchins at matchroom.
GBP who also streams at DAZN, has William Zepeda, Ryan Garcia, Arnold Barboza, Floyd Schofield, and Jose Carlos Ramirez.
Based on Andy's popularity based on his performances, there be demand for promoters to cooperate for some fights at 135 and 140.
On how many fights he have, well
Loma wasn't a natural lightweight, Andy is, he should be able to fight about 16-18 times.
They're going to have to make him mando somehow. Tank, Stevenson, Vaquero and Loma will have the 4 titles soon enough.

I think the best MR can do for him at 135 is make him a mandatory challenger and then potentially get him a title shot/ vacant belt.
I believe he’s ranked by several of the ABC’s atm, I’d try and get him an eliminator as soon as possible.

Andy Cruz, David Morell and Abdullah Mason are the young fighters I am watching
Cruz is special in my view, he will get an opportunity because of his pedigree and Matchroom will make something happen for him, but I don’t think the big names in the division will fight him if they don’t have to
He's fought 3 Mexican opponents. Solid guys but nothing spectacular.
I can assure you that no Cuban boxer is going to turn down a fight. Who do think he should fight, and is going to accept the fight? You heard him say that a fight with davis is entirely up to him, and you read what davis said.

Hes only 28. Hes not THAT old. I mean its obviously not ideal for anyone to be a 28 year old prospect, but hes likely to fight for a belt at 29 if he is what he think he is.
What are the fights they get Andy that get him to the title?
